Outside The Ranch

       During your visit, we encourage you to explore the local town or spend time on the beach, where you can swim in the warm waters of an intense blue ocean. We are just 20 minutes away. In your leisure time there are numerous local attractions to visit and experience. Our favorites are exploring the botanical gardens on silver mountain, taking a tour of the Fort San Felipe, built by the Spanish colonists, or visting the amber museum. There are also many shops where you can purchase larimar, an extremely rare gemstone that can only be found in the Mountains of he Dominican Republic.
